If this goes to penalties it won't finish much before 11pm. Magnificent. It would be nice for Forest to have a crack at the PL. The game needs a fresh yo-yo team. Seriously, I recall the Forest team when they were the champions of Europe. It seems so long ago. My blog: https://rugbyl.blogspot.co.nz/ It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course. It takes reasonableness to end that discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked big and could read where the players were shooting. A good combination! The save at the end was also vital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josef K Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Someone mentioned on the radio before that a Forest fan has run at Billy Sharp durning the celebrations and head butted him which floored him. Clubs will have to clampdown on pitch invasions, it’s no good banning fans for most of the season and then turn a blind eye for the last couple of league games . They will have to tell fans if you encroach onto the pitch you will be banned for life. That should then put fans running onto the pitch hopefully.

It starts with properly investing in stewarding and stadium security. There is precious little of that going on. 2 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Josef K Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 4 hours ago, gingerjon said: Arrest made already this morning. Very heavy fine coming for Forest id imagine. Perhaps clubs will step up security in the future for the last few matches of the season, although it’s a bit late now because the damage is done. I still don’t understand how someone invading the pitch at the start or middle of the season will be dealt with severely, but when it gets to the last couple of league games or play offs it’s a free runaround. It’s as if the clubs just accept it, but they shouldn’t. The rise in hooliganism over the last few years is shocking and worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I think he’s very fortunate it’s 24 weeks and not 24 months . It was despicable , dangerous and cowardly . Could have had a very very bad outcome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
